Ryan Freel Memorial Donations

Hello, Redszone-

The tragic death of Ryan Freel, one of Redleg Nation's own, has led the moderating team here at RedsZone to start up a fundraiser for the Cincinnati branch of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. We are accepting donations until the end of January, at which point 100% of the net donation is going to be given to AFSP-Cincinnati.

To donate, please go to http://www.youcaring.com/memorial-fu...evention/37840 and click on the "give" button. Any amount will be accepted and any amount will help!

Thank you for your time!

I'll be donating Thursday when I get paid. It would be really nice for us to hit that goal

Worthy cause. Money well spent. Too many have gone this way including our own Ryan Freel. Thanks to all for making it happen.

Seconded by someone who spent 4 years of his life also working in the mental health system.
